[Verse 1]
I seen a smile just a week ago
Reminded me of everything about you
What I didn't recognize to see is though
How my life could be feeling without you
Tragedy, just a tragedy
How you can breathe, but heartbreak is a casualty
When smiles go to frowns, where's the balancing
Happily ever after is a fallacy
Photo ops, online status
Let your friends tell the story of an empty palace
So as I clear the air and let the tears dry
Please say goodbye, I told you

[Hook]
I could really love you, love you, love you
Please let me prove it, prove it, prove it
She told me she could love me, love me, love me
But only through the music, music, music

[Verse 2]
I seen a kiss just a week ago
Reminded me of everything about you
What I didn't recognize to see is though
How my life could be feeling without you
And as much as the pain could circle my mind
I think about the strain, the work and the time
Nothing was in vain, it's worth every dime
Just understand my brain was hurting to find
A solid place, so knowledge based
Swallowing my pride had an awful taste
Staring in your eyes through a solemn face
Made it harder to dream, even harder to wake
Old pics, felt like a day ago
CDs, iPods, and radios
Let me clear the air and let the tears dry
Please say goodbye, I told you

[Hook]
